In this 45 min webinar, Professor Ahmed Ahmed (University of Oxford) will share early insights from the OvarianVax project, explaining what the team is working towards, what they’ve discovered so far and what still lies ahead.
He’ll be joined by Professor Peter Sasieni (Wolfson Institute of Population Health), a leading expert in cancer prevention, who will reflect on the success of the HPV vaccine programme and what it teaches us about turning promising science into real-world impact.
Together we’ll explore:
- What would it take for a preventative ovarian cancer vaccine to succeed?
- What drives public trust and uptake?
- And what challenges still need to be overcome?
This session is designed for anyone with an interest in ovarian cancer, prevention, or the future of cancer research, whether you have a personal connection or are simply curious about what’s possible.
